Grantee Recipient Reporting: Beginner (CPPW) Clay Cooksey CDC Recovery Act Coordination December, 2009
Today’s Objectives • Distinguish between Performance Measurement Reporting and Section 1512 Reporting • Understand the basic recipient reporting process • Requirements • Registration and Preparation • Reporting options and CDC sample reports • Understand the Limited Data Quality Reviews (DQR) • Requirements • Basic Process and CDC plans • Preparation • Answer questions
Recipient Reporting:Two Components • Section 1512 – Recipient reports due to federalreporting.gov by Day 10 after the end of each quarter • Three options for reporting • Program performance measures – Periodic discussion with recipients. Recipients report data; POs collate and submit to RAC for quarterly senior leader reviews and public reporting • Performance Progress Report form
Recipient Quarterly Reports Grants and Cooperative Agreements Recipient reports due to federalreporting.gov by Day 10 after the end of each quarter and ultimately posted on Recovery.gov Includes standard data elements under Section 1512 for Prime Recipients, Sub-Recipients, and Sub-Awardees posted in April 1, 2009 Federal Register notice Contracts Standard data elements for recipients of Recovery Act funded contracts directly awarded by the Federal Government is being reviewed under a separate OMB information collection process Section 1512 Recipient Reporting Requirements
Reporting Roles and Responsibilities • Prime Recipients • Sub Recipients • Vendors Refer to Supporting Information for more details
Prime and Sub-recipients; Vendors • Prime recipient – non-Federal entities that receive Recovery Act funding (grants, cooperative agreements, loans) directly from the federal government • Sub-recipient – non-Federal entity that receives all or a portion of Recovery Act funding from a prime recipient to support the performance of programs/projects for which the prime recipient received funding • Vendor – a dealer, distributor, merchant, or other seller providing goods or services to recipients that are needed to carry out the project or program
Sub-recipient vs. Vendor The characteristics of a vender that make it distinct from a sub-recipient are below. A vendor: • Provides the goods and services within normal business operations; • Provides similar goods and services to many different purchasers; • Operates in a competitive environment; • Provides goods and services that are ancillary to the operation of a federal program; and, • Is not subject to compliance requirements of the federal program. Office of Management and Budget Guidance on Reporting (June 22, 2009), p.7 http://www.recovery.gov/FAQ/recipient/pages/recipient_reporting.aspx
Recipient ReportingRegistration • Recipients and reviewers must be registered with www.federalreporting.gov • Recipients need: • DUNS – http://fedgov.dnb.com/webform • CCR – www.ccr.gov/GAQ.aspx • FRPIN – www.federalreporting.gov • Reviewers need: • Valid .gov email • Phone • Agency Name
Prime Recipient ReportingPreparation • Is your DUNS/CCR current? • Have you requested your FRPIN? • Who will register for your org (Centralized Reporting)? • What systems will you use for data collection (purchasing, accounting, etc.)? • Will you be delegating to sub-recipients? • What subcontract/consortium agreements need to be revised? • Do your grantees and contractors have DUNS/CCR identification so they can register? FRPIN? • Have they registered? • How will you validate sub-recipient reports/info? • Are you and they familiar with Resources for Review?
Section 1512 Reporting Options • Recipient Reporting Online Form – Recipients can enter data directly onto FederalReporting.gov. The site will prevent the submission of material omissions. • Recipient Reporting Excel Tool – Recipients will need to populate the required data fields and upload the report to FederalReporting.gov. The website will validate the completion of all required data fields and will not allow the completion of the upload if any material omissions exist. • Recipient Reporting XML Schema – The XML Schema provides a standard structure to transfer data from system to system.
CDC Reporting Assistance • Recipient challenges • Short timeframe for reporting, identifying and correcting errors • Some recipients with limited access to reports for their awards (centralized reporting) • Program role • Address challenges on monthly calls • Provide applicable info for reporting (i.e., agency codes) before reporting period • Link recipients with basic reporting info and be able to answer basic reporting questions
Recipient ReportingInstructions (General) • Award Amount • Refer to Notice of Grant Award • Award Description • Recipient should use info from the executive summary in their application • Project Name/Program Title • Recipient should use the title of their Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) • Quarterly Activities/Project Description • Recipients should use info from the executive summary in their application and or appropriate objectives and activities in their application Sample Reports - http://www.cdc.gov/fmo/topic/Recovery_Act/index.html
Recipient ReportingInstructions (CPPW) • Project Status • “Not started” or “less than 50%” • Total Fed ARRA Amount Invoiced • Amount drawn down from PMSthrough 12/31 • “$0” if nothing has been drawn down • Total Fed ARRA Expenditures • “$0” (not enough time obligate funds per Dec. 2009 award date) • Jobs • “$0” (not enough time to obligate funds for jobs per Dec. 2009 award date) • Subawards and Vendor Payments • $0 unless funds have been expended for either Sample Reports - http://www.cdc.gov/fmo/topic/Recovery_Act/index.html
OMB Jobs Guidance “In order to perform the calculation, a recipient will need the total number of hours worked that are funded by the Recovery Act” and “To convert hours worked to number of FTE for the first quarterly report, aggregate all hours worked and divide by the number of hours in a full-time schedule. Reporting is cumulative…and will not reset at the beginning of each calendar or fiscal year*” Office of Management and Budget Guidance on Reporting (June 22, 2009), p.35 http://www.recovery.gov/FAQ/recipient/pages/recipient_reporting.aspx
Jobs created vs. retained • Job created – met by at least one of the following: • New positions filled and funded with ARRA dollars • Existing, unfilled positions (pre ARRA) that are filled and funded with ARRA dollars • Job retained – previously existing and filled position that is retained and funded with ARRA dollars • Includes the sum of Prime recipients, sub recipients and vendors for each ARRA award (beware of double-counting) • A job is either created or retained, but it CANNOT be both https://www.federalreporting.gov/federalreporting/downloads.do#rrdm, p. 9-10
Jobs Example #1 • Date of hire with ARRA dollars: 12/01/2009 • Max # of hours worked = 160 hours/FTE • 40 hrs/week x 4 weeks • # of FTEs (see jobs description in sample): 2 • Total hours available in 1st quarter = 520 160 hours worked x 2 FTEs = 320 hours worked ------------------------------------------------------------- = .6FTEs 520 hours available for 1st Q
Recipient Reporting & DQR: Key Dates • Jan. 1 – Federalreporting.gov opens for recipient reporting • Jan. 10 – Recipient reports due to federalreporting.gov • Jan. 11 – 29 – Recipient and CDC data quality reviews • Jan. 30 – Recipient reports made public
Recipient Reporting &Data Quality Review • Day 1 – 10 – Recipients submit data to federalreporting.gov • Day 11 – 21 – Initial Report Review • Prime recipients ID errors/omissions and notify sub-recipients where applicable • Data corrections made by recipients • Federal agencies initiate data reviews • Day 22 – 29 – Official Agency Review • Fed agencies officially alert recipients to data issues • Unlock reports with errors • Recipients correct data issues • Fed agencies categorize data quality for Recovery.gov • Day 30 – Final reports posted on Recovery.gov
CDC’s Basic DQR Process • Track recipient registrations • Days 11 – 21 – Preliminary reviews of recipient reports; begin to ID errors and contact recipients • POs contact recipients and inform of errors • Days 22 – 29 – Official CDC review; notify recipients and categorize • Unlock reports with errors • Day 30 – 90 – CDC Recovery Act Coordination unit conduct performance analysis of errors, corrections and non-compliance for Quarterly Reviews
Scope of CDC Data Quality Reviews • Material omissions:failure of recipient to submit a report • *Significant reporting errors: • Reported award amount differs from CDC records by more than 1% • Reported award date differs from CDC records by more than 7 days • Reported expenditures greater than the award amount • Highly unreasonable job estimates *Subject to change per HHS
Highly Unreasonable Jobs • Amount of reported expenditures divided by the number of jobs reported is less than $3,770 per job • Must show corresponding $$ if jobs are created/retained • Cannot create/retain jobs with “$0” Total ARRA Fed Expenditures Subject to change per HHS
Recipient ReportingChecklist • Do you know your: • Award # • Award amount • Award issue date • DUNS# • CFDA • TAS • Have you submitted a report for each award? Refer to your Notice of Grant Award or HHS Recipient Reporting Readiness Tool Refer to CDC codes for ARRA Grants http://cdc.gov/fmo/topic/Recovery_Act/index.html
Recipient ReportingChecklist • Do you have a way to easily make reporting corrections, especially if you are in a state with centralized reporting? • Have you and your PO discussed preparations for January reporting (i.e., jobs, draw down, expenditures, etc.)? • Have you submitted a duplicate report that needs to be deactivated (i.e, 2 reports for the same awd #)
Recipient ReportingChecklist • Do you know how to calculate jobs per OMB’s formula and CDC’s samples? • Do you have corresponding expenditures with your reported jobs created/retained? • Have you reviewed your data to prevent double-counting any reported data (i.e., expenditures, jobs, etc.?)
Program PerformanceMeasures • Four differences between Section 1512 and Program Performance Measures • Performance Measures: • Reported to us, not directly to public portal • Public info is reported by CDC in aggregate, not recipient-by-recipient • Selected/few public measures • Not all info is reported quarterly
Program PerformanceMeasures • Program performance measures – Periodic discussion with recipients. Recipients report data to CDC; POs will collate and report to RAC for senior leader reviews and public reporting. • Report quarterly progress to RAC • Performance Progress Report (PPR) form
Performance MeasuresReporting—Sequence • Data collected from grantees and reported to their CDC PO. • POs or program leads will summarize across funded recipients to calculate an aggregated measure • Program will report these aggregate measures to the Recovery Act Coordination unit within 60 days of the end of the quarter • RAC will prepare for senior leader quarterly reviews and upload for public reporting on Recovery.gov
Performance MeasureReporting—Outcomes • % recipients whose intended policy, systems, environmental change has been: • Submitted for consideration by “relevant authority” • Approved/enacted by “relevant authority” • Outcomes measured via: • CHANGE Tool (communities) • Similar ARRA Reporting Tool (states) • Report out outcomes strategy by strategy • Completed by recipient and submitted on-line
Performance MeasureReporting—Outputs • % recipients who are on time/on track with activities related to their chosen strategies • Outputs measured as follows: • Recipient plans converted to activities/milestones with dates • PO reviews with recipient, determines % of activities/milestones on time/on track • “Scorecard” approach—green/red/yellow • Considering an on-line monitoring system to do calculations and graphics • Determine output performance strategy-by-strategy • Completed by PO and recipient together
CPPW Monitoring and Evaluation—Other Components • BRFSS and YRBS—baseline and followup in all communities • System dynamic modeling • Cost assessment • Case studies
Recipient Reporting:Two Components • Section 1512 – Recipient reports due to federalreporting.gov by Day 10 after the end of each quarter • Three options for reporting • Program performance measures – Periodic discussion with recipients. Recipients report data; POs collate and submit to RAC for quarterly senior leader reviews and public reporting • Performance Progress Report form
